I’m currently doing my workouts on the Ven-two… 800m elevation per hour, on a steady, endurance ride compared to 750m on a threshold workout (2x and 3x efforts) with recovery inbetween. I manage to squeeze in 3-4 workouts per month in the free account. 

yours truly,

Congrats! For the 100 mile kit, join a double draft group ride/event and you'll be done in 4 hours. Just have plenty of fluids on hand haha!

Yes. The Sunday Cycle Nation group ride is the best opportunity.

Has anyone here tried to follow a workout IN ZWIFT while taking part in a group event IN ZWIFT? I've managed before to follow a workout in another program while Zwift is open,. One just turns off the CONTROLLED portion on the Zwift landing screen.

Doh!! Why didn't I think of this before!? I hate the Wahoo SYSTM/Sufferfest workout videos and it gives you unrealistic kms and zero elevation, but the training programs are quite good... Do you think I'll be able to turn off the controlled portion on Zwift and control the trainer through Wahoo SYSTM?

On your first question: Last time I checked the Workouts badge is greyed out during events, so not possible. I've managed to create an event before with a few mates. Everyone join the event early. While waiting for the clock to run down everyone goes to the workout screen and chooses the same workout. Then when the clock strikes zero and the event starts, everyone starts doing the exact same workout at the same time. Obviously works best with the rubberband effect on.. but this is obviously not what you are trying to achieve.

Yes. I've achieved this in the past using the method I've described. JUST BE AWARE that you may need to connect your machine to each piece of software using difference protocols ie. WAHOO with ANT+ and ZWIFT with BT or vice versa.

Hi All, I see My whoosh, has been mentioned and free to use, I see there is support for PC, android and IOS, have installed it and will give it a go tonight and report back, the R300 towards Zwift can go elsewhere in my budget.

Let us know how it goes. I looked into it a little while ago and it looks like they've pumped a lot of money into it recently. Apparently they have some of the biggest prize purses in e-racing and have serious ambitions of taking over the professional scene

I just downloaded the iOS version; pity it’s not available on Max just yet. I will upload my workout for today and give feedback some time after.

Not too bad. A bit small to view the finer details on my iPhone 11, but I can get behind this app for my training. Hopefully the “coming to Mac” is sooner than later.

Easy to link to TP, the workout for today appears in the calendar. Upload back to TP afterwards, as well as Strava (if it isn’t there, it didn’t happens).

I see @fanievb was also in the desert, doing a test ride 👍

Like most things, I don’t read the manual before testing something first.

Wasn't impressed (but I suspect my crappy android phone is the problem) 

I did a 45min ride, but the app only gave me a 25min elapsed time. 

Setting up and linking to TP and strava was a breeze. 

I'll install the windows version, do workout and update my "review"

looking forward to your windows review.

 

would love to know the system requirements ... ram, graphics, etc .... BIG part of why I am Zwift, as it is okay on a basic PC.

OK, tried it on my Laptop but it seems like it needs a proper machine, I have a Lenono Ideapad 370, 8 gig Ram, and it crashes as soon as I want to pair any trainer to it, they say Minimum is 16 gig, It uses the "unreal engine" for the graphics, My Samsung A32 works but could not care for the small screen.
